Abstract: | The synthesis and the crystal structures of the complexes [Cu(LI)2](ClO4) ( 1 ) and [Cu(LI)(CH3CN)2(ClO4)2] ( 2 ) are reported. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the unit cell dimensions a = 13.169(4), b = 12.289(3), c = 14.732(3) Å, β = 109.03(2)° and Z = 4. Copper(I) is coordinated to four N atoms of the two 1,10‐Phenanthroline‐5,6‐dione (LI) ligands with a two‐fold axis passing between the ligands. The copper(II) compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbn21 with unit cell dimensions of a = 7.498(5), b = 23.492(7), c = 12.363(4) Å and Z = 4. Copper(II) coordination can be described as a distorted octahedron with the N donor atoms of one LI ligand and of two molecules of CH3CN occupying the equatorial positions completed by two oxygen atoms of the two perchlorate molecules in the axial positions. |
